So a day swap with your adult children would be if they don't live at home anymore, you go visit them at college or you visit them wherever they live. You'll plan a day and take me around to all your favorite spots. You will feel reconnected to them. So now when you talk on the phone and they talk about, I'm standing in line getting my latte, mom, you know exactly where they are.

It ignites connection and it allows you to see that other person, a view through their eyes of what really lights them up. It's good. But yes, I believe you need both of that.

Yeah, and it lets you day swap, allows each party in the day swap to feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated. And isn't that what we all really want? We want to be seen and heard, and it can't help but bring you closer because you abandon anything that you feel or think, and you're just there to be with this person and witness what it is they truly enjoy doing. So it's a wonderful dare to do.

If somebody is really bad, like really down and out, and I know the words depression, anxiety are thrown around very loosely in our world today, but if you are struggling to get up every day out of bed, find help. Go find professional help, always, because there are some people that it affects so deeply that they need help. I'll just say that out loud.

The first thing I would tell anybody to do is exercise. make a decision and understand that you are always their mom and that you are going to shift from the fixer of all things to being there as I love the coach or advisor. I love the word advisor, that you are ready to let them go. They will call you and reach out when they need help. And when they do, you're an advisor.

You're going to help them. You're not going to fix things. And then for yourself, Start with a list. Start with a list. Write a list of everything that... What are things I used to like doing before I was even like anybody's girlfriend, wife, husband, boyfriend, whatever it is, partner. What are things you used to like doing? Without judgment, no judgment. Just like it's kind of brain dump.

What did I used to like to ride my bike? I used to like riding a bike. I used to like hiking. I used to like cooking. Whatever it is, write a list. What are things that... other people doing that when you see them doing, you're like, wow, that looks really fun. That looks cool. I think I could do that. And it can be a hobby. It could be a career. And then once you make your list without judgment,

Read through the list and tap into how you feel and start to dare to experience the things on your list. And here's what I'm going to say, Vince, because a lot of people don't, they get stuck in this part. This is the taking action, the daring part. They don't because what if they fail? What if they don't like it? That's great. If you don't like doing it, you could take it off your list. I tried.

I don't like that anymore. You might discover something else. You make room. If you try, say you register for a class and you just fail miserably at learning a new language, you wanted to learn how to speak Mandarin. You totally fail. It's okay. It's okay. What did you learn from that? Move on to the next thing. So make a decision, make a list, and just start small steps.

Daring doesn't have to be a whole career change. It can be. It can be just little steps. And if you have a side hustle or a hobby, Maybe really look at that and ask yourself, how would this feel if I now put more time into my hobby? Could I make it into a business? How does that feel when I say that? So make a list, little baby steps, and find somebody to step out with you if you want.
